For those asking, we used to live nearby each other and frequently hung out together, but she moved away right before we both were diagnosed, so I don't get to see her in person anymore. We just talk on facebook these days, where I see her food posts getting more out of control, and since she is so far away now there literally is nothing I can do except watch.

Well, she can do what she wants with her life. She ought to be aware that other auto immune disease can spring up easily enough in untreated celiac disease. Some people have gone back on gluten for acoupe years and developed DH (dermatits herptiformis) from doing it. Or some other AI condition. It's nothing to toy around with if you ask me.
Right? You would think she would know this already since she has Hashimotos and Celiac Disease, not sure which came first since she was diagnosed with both at the same time, and it was her Dr's quick thinking to screen her for both when she went in for the goiter. I think she has some false hope in her recovery from hashimotos means her celiac disease is also recovered, and yet if she does understand that they are entirely separate diseases and treatments then she's just being downright stupid. Theres really nothing good that can come from this.
I understand how you feel. I have a friend who helped me when I was new to this. She is diabetic as well as having celiac, suffers from diabetic retinopathy (she's nearly blind), she has DH, and she just broke her foot and didn't even know it because she couldn't feel it - neuropathy I guess, whether from the celiac or the diabetes, I don't know.
She started eating gluten again at Christmastime. Her DH is out of control, she is so bloated she looks pregnant, and I know the gluten is making her diabetes worse too. But she said she just doesn't have the willpower to get back on her diet.
There is not a thing I can do except pray for her.
I'm sorry your friend is suffering. It's like watching an alcoholic, and from my experience there's nothing we can do to help except hope they come around on their own. I guess, that's the only thing I can do for my friend as well.

Thanks again GottaSki! Good to see you are still here. I'll check out that thread.
tasha - Thanks, yeah I think I'll just keep and eye out in case she needs me to be there for her if (when) it starts to get bad. It's a good thing we have the internet to find people we can talk to. I don't know what I would do without you guys.

#871167 My Only Celiac Friend Started Eating Gluten Again, And I Feel Alone.
Posted by rorenchan on 28 May 2013 - 11:49 AM
I have blood and biopsy diagnosed celiac disease. The only other celiac I know is my friend who was blood diagnosed the same year as me, but she didn't have an endoscopy because she had a hashimotos goiter complicating the procedure, and the doctors never followed up with it after her surgery. After she recovered from hashimotos, she started eating gluten again, and is now blatantly ignoring the gluten free diet. She's not doing it in preparation for testing either, she's just decided to not care.
I am afraid to ask her about it, because I know she probably feels like it's nobody's business what she eats, but I can't help but feel upset by her decision. I'm upset because she's ignoring her health, and I'm worried she'll get sick again. I'm upset because she tells people she has celiac disease but still eats gluten, which just adds to the public confusion on how to properly handle gluten free dining. I'm upset, because I feel alone, she is the only person I know with celiac, and now she's pretending like her diagnosis never happened.
Is this because she never got an endoscopy, so she isn't taking it seriously? Should I be offended? I don't want to be offended, but I can't seem to shake this. 6 months ago we were swapping recipes and food finds, and now all she talks about is the food she eats, the pastries, pizzas, wheat beers, etc. I suddenly feel really alone. I have other friends who eat partly gluten free as a personal choice, but it's really not the same.

The American-made Turbo is the least expensive post we tested. It's durable and the easiest to service (despite its mix of metric and imperial fasteners) thanks to its simple design—old-fashioned springs guarantee a fast return.

Several lawsuits over layoffs by The Times-Picayune and its owner have been transferred from state to federal court, although the move may be temporary.
Eight former employees of the New Orleans newspaper and parent company Advance Publications Inc. sued in December, claiming the 2012 layoffs violated age discrimination laws and a "job security pledge."
Their cases were transferred from Orleans Parish Civil District Court to federal court on Friday at the newspaper's request. Lawyers for the newspaper argued that federal laws govern some of the lawsuits' claims.
The plaintiffs were 46 to 59 years old when they lost jobs ranging from warehouse worker to reporter. Their lawsuits say they either were not allowed to apply or applied unsuccessfully for lower-paid replacement jobs.

Republic of Namibia
The Republic of Namibia is one of the largest countries in southern Africa, and with an average of 2.3 inhabitants per km², one of the most sparsely populated countries in the world. The majority of the population lives in the North and the country's few cities, while the South and West are very sparsely populated, if at all.
The republic is located in southwest Africa, on the Atlantic Ocean. It borders South Africa, Angola, Zambia and Botswana. SolarWorld AG is installing four Sun-TV stations in Namibia. The Okahandja Park and Rehoboth stations are in the interior, relatively close to the capital, Windhoek. Two additional stations are being built in the North, near the Angolan border.

Spdif out vs analog out
i know it`s a stupid question... Has anyone experiences about sound quality diferences between using a very good soundcard with very good DACs, connecting analog to very good AMP and comparing this wit the Spdif output of a very good souncard, connecting digitaly to a real digital amp like Tact or Panasonic Sa-XR series. theoretically the digital connection should be better, because a DAC is not needed... Thank you. Ralf |

Being a little facetious, I'll ask "is there such a thing as a very good real digital amplifier"?
Secondly, there must be a DAC somewhere in the reproduction chain.

Hi, i own several Class A amplifiers like JLH, AlephX, Hiraga Monstre and Tube amps. but none of them beats my modified panasonic. i think i know what i say:- there are very good digital amplifiers... the question is: where are the advantages in having a DAC or going fully digital. Ralf |

Sorry, but it seems to me that you are comparing things that are too different. The point is not the analog vs digital link, but whole different chains.
It's the soundcard's converter amplified by, say, your JLH compared with the "digital amplifier's" converter amplified by his own local private final stages Then you can still compare, but it would be a specific brand and model with a specific brand and model. No? _ |

It CAN make a big difference...
I've made the comparison using TI amp in the picture and some speakers with 6-1/2" Usher woofer and Usher tweeter. The amp is one of the TI evaluation boards that has a TAS3004 audio processor, which I used for an 8-pole digital crossover. I compared the all-digital chain from SPDIF through the digital amp with the analog output of a decent Pioneer CD/DVD/SACD player going through the analog capture in the TAS3004 chip. It's easy to do with the TI DCT tools--just change the input of the TAS3004 from digital to analog. There is a very easy-to-hear difference, and the all-digital path is noticeably clearer and sounds more dynamic. I had someone else listening who was rather impressed by the difference. Now, if the A-to-D in the TAS3004 were higher quality, or if the DAC in the CD player was higher quality, maybe the difference wouldn't be as great. But yes, there can be a big difference. |

A couple of years ago, RCA had some very affordable home theater amps based on the STA500 series (DDX). An oddball that should be fun to play with is the 6-channel DDX amp in the Spherex X-Box surround system (I've got a couple at home that I need to dig into). As far as I know, the digital amps are all multi-channel "home theater" amps--that is, I don't think there are any stereo or monoblock amps that use a pure digital amp. The only stereo or monoblock digital amps that I know of use analog feedback to control the digital output stage and they have an analog input. Tripath (RIP), B&O (ICE), Hypex, Coldpower, Philips...these are all "class D" or variants that have analog inputs. Keep in mind that the digital amps are essentially high-powered DAC's, and they require a good regulated power supply. In fact, TI has an app note that discusses the relationship of distortion at low frequencies as a function of the length of wire between the amp and the power supply. So you need to make sure the design is implemented properly. Also, the output filters are designed for a specific load impedance and the amps may not perform well for different loads. As I tried to indicate, I'm not sure that I've characterized the market adequately--if someone else has more recent or more accurate info--please speak up. |

are you saying there are a few digital amplifiers that do not use a DAC between them and the signal? If this is the case then it would appear that the switching amp is varying it's rate and/or duty cycle on the digital values coming from the data stream. Without the use of any analogue conversion in the process? Any ideas on how they are achieving this?

TI and Apogee have had pure digital amps for quite a while. Totally DAC-free, although some argue that the amplifier itself is actually a power-DAC. Do a search on Google for "TI, Purepath" and "Apogee, DDX" for more information. Both companies have lots of app notes and datasheets available. Apogee sold their amplifier products to Sigmatel and ST makes the chips. Here's a blurb from the old Apogee website that references their amplifier products: "The Company built upon this audio experience and developed the worlds first all-digital, high efficiency audio amplifier ICs, which it trademarked as Direct Digital Amplification or DDX®. DDX technology became the market leader and in conjunction with the Company's DDX technology licensee, STMicroelectronics, the companies developed over 25 DDX ICs that had total sales of over 35 million devices to leading consumer brands such as Sony, Sharp, Samsung, Harman Kardon, Hitachi, Kenwood, LG, Philips, RCA and Zenith. During the growth of this business, the Company won the Deloitte Technology Fast 50 award in 2004 as the fastest growing technology company in New England" |

The principal technical reason for having a waiver provision for secondary treatment for municipal discharges is that for some outfall systems the dilution is so high that very good ambient water quality can be achieved with less than secondary treatment. Therefore, the criteria for a waiver of the secondary treatment requirement must give full consideration to the dilution obtained by the outfall system. In a high performance outfall diffuser, such as those used by major dischargers in California and Hawaii, initial dilutions are typically 100:1, and may range up to 1000:1 in very favorable circumstances.

At the Woodstar Cafe in Northampton.
When chosing a photo for the end of year Photo Friday challenge I was torn between this photo and the one above. I went with the Cafe Latte because it was one of my first attempts at shooting an 'arty' photo. I love how the colours and texture turned out. It also reflects my mood of 2005: seeking warmth, creativity and comfort.

Subject: | Not strictly an XFS question |
From: | Matthew Geier <matthew@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> |
Date: | 17 Jun 2003 10:32:53 +1000 |
Sender: | linux-xfs-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxx |
Using XFS 2.4.21 cvs on a Athlon/Nforce2 PC, on an otherwise standard RedHat 9 install. When I burn a CD, the system locks hard. Only signs of life are blinking keyboard lights. Have to press reset. I can't seem to find exactly what the blinking lights mean. I assume something really BAD has happened to the kernel... Works with the standard RD kernel (but the HD doesn't run in the fasted DMA mode it supports and firewire doesn't work at all). I don't actually have any XFS file systems on this box - the XFS/RH9 boot disk people have done won't boot on this machine. I do use XFS on other boxen hence using the XFS kernel on this particular machine. |

In this tutorial, learn how to combine PDF or how to merge PDF files into one PDF file using Acrobat X.There are two ways to get started merging multiple files into one PDF file. You can either start from the task button or the Welcome Window. In either case, it just take a few seconds to combine multiple PDF files into one file!
Donna Baker March 23, 2012
You can either start from the task button or the Welcome Window. Click the Create task button, and choose Combine Files into PDF. From the Welcome Window, just click Combine Files into PDF.
The Combine Files dialog box opens. Notice that the Single PDF button is selected automatically. Click Add Files > Add Files. Locate and select the file you want to include. The first file shows on the list.
Click Add Files again to open the menu. This time, we'll add several files at once, so click Add Folders. The Browse For Folder dialog box opens. Select the folder's location, select your folder, and click OK. All the files in the folder—three in this case—are added to the list.
You don't need to use all the pages in a file. Click a file's name to activate it and then click the Choose Pages button. You see the Preview and Select Page Range dialog box. Use the arrows at the bottom of the preview area to preview the document's pages. Click Pages to activate the field and then type the page numbers you want to convert. Click OK to close the dialog box. You see the selected Page Range shows on the list.
If you want to change the order of the files, click a file's name and then click the Move Up (or Move Down) button. When your list is ready click Combine Files. Wait a few seconds for Acrobat to process each file that isn't in PDF format. Wait another few seconds for Acrobat to publish the new PDF document.
The Save As dialog box opens. Notice that Acrobat names the new file Binder1.pdf by default. Click Save to save the file and open it in Acrobat X.
Check out your new file: Click the Page Thumbnails tab, scroll through the thumbnails, and click a thumbnail to view the page. Four files into one PDF file in just a few seconds!

New animal models of progressive neurodegeneration
Title | New animal models of progressive neurodegeneration: tools for identifying targets in predictive diagnostics and presymptomatic treatment |
Author(s) | R. Andrew Tasker, Amber L. Adams-Marriott, Christopher A. Shaw |
Journal | EPMA Journal |
Date | 2010 |
Volume | 1 |
Issue | 2 |
Start page | 217 |

Abstract | Mental and neurological disorders are increasingly prevalent and constitute a major societal and economic burden worldwide. Many of these diseases and disorders are characterized by progressive deterioration over time, that ultimately results in identifiable symptoms that in turn dictate therapy. Disease-specific symptoms, however, often occur late in the degenerative process. A better understanding of presymptomatic events could allow for the development of new diagnostics and earlier interventions that could slow or stop the disease process. Such studies of progressive neurodegeneration require the use of animal models that are characterized by delayed or slowly developing disease phenotype(s). This brief review describes several examples of such animal models that have recently been developed with relevance to various neurological diseases and disorders, and delineates the potential of such models to aid in predictive diagnosis, early intervention and disease prevention. |

Two news items about alternative operating system news in a row? What is this, Christmas? In any case, the Haiku project, the darling of OSNews (hey it's okay now), has released its second alpha release. This new stable development release contains some serious improvements over the first alpha.
Thread beginning with comment 423757

I don't understand why... but Alpha 2 will NOT boot on any of the 3 systems I have. It KDL's on one, before finishing the boot icons. It locks up at the Language preference menu on another. And it locks up at a blue desktop screen (no icons, just the mouse pointer) on the 3rd one.
Yet, Alpha 1 ran PERFECTLY on all these systems!
Anyone else having these types of problems?

Anyone else having these types of problems?
I've been struggling to get it running on my IBM Thinkpad X30, which also runs Alpha 1 fine, albeit only in safe-mode VESA video (which doesn't bother me, it's still my monitor's highest supported, 1024x768). With Alpha 2, I've had it stop before ever getting to the blue screen and had it stop with a stuck pointer on the blue screen, depending on what "Safe Mode" options I chose.
I finally got the CD to boot all the way to the Live Desktop/possibility of install (haven't installed yet) by changing the following "Safe Mode Options" in the bootloader (hit the spacebar while the bootloader is displaying it's line of dots to get to the options screen):
I had to Disable DMA Mode, Use Safe Mode Video, and Disable ACPI.
I also had to go to the "Boot From Volume" sections and explicitly tell it to boot from only the CD-ROM (vs. Hard Drive or CD). Only then would it get past the stuck pointer on a blank blue screen.
I've had no luck whatsoever with USB sticks, only with a CD-R using the ISO image.
Hope that helps. I guess the moral of the story is to fiddle with the various booting options to see what works. I of course plan to file some bug tickets sometime soon. That's the whole point of Alpha releases, right? (:

in reply to "RE: Haiku Alpha 2 FAIL..."
try disabling acpi in the boot menu (press spacebar quick at boot)
On Athlonica (An Athlon XP 2000+ system, running on an nForce2 chipset board), I have even tried disabling EVERYTHING (not just ACPI) and all it does now is KDL with a "no bootable partition" (or whatever) message.
It either goes to and freezes at a blue (no icons) desktop or it KDL's. Fun.
I'm guessing that the only way to get a usable revision of Haiku on any system is to install Ubuntu and create it that way.

RWANDA from MAMMOTH on Vimeo.
The Republic of Rwanda (pronoun-ced /ruːˈandə/, ruːændə, or rəwɑːndəin English, ɾwanda or ɾɡwandain Kinyarwanda is a unitary republic of central and eastern Africa.
It borders Uganda to the north; Tanzania to the east; Burundi to the south; and the Democratic Republic of the Congo to the west. Rwanda is landlocked but is noted for its lakes, particularly Lake Kivu, which occupies the floor of the Rift Valley along most of the country's western border. Although close to the equator, the country has a temperate climate due to its high elevation, with the highest point being Mount Karisimbi. The terrain consists of mountains and gently rolling hills, with plains and swamps in the east. Abundant wildlife, including rare mountain gorillas, have led to a fast-growing tourism sector.
The largest cities in Rwanda are Kigali, Rubavu, and Huye. Unlike many African countries, Rwanda is home to only one significant ethnic and linguistic group, the Banyarwanda. The country is well known for its native styles of dance, particularly the Intore dance, and for its drummers. Kinyarwanda, English and French are the official languages.
The earliest known inhabitants of the territory were the Twa people, who still live in Rwanda as a minority today. A series of further migrations took place, leading to a complex ethnic and social structure.
The Kingdom of Rwanda, initially a loose confederation, grew in importance from the 15th century to become the dominant civilization in the region, occupying an area beyond the present borders.
The territory was assigned to Germany by the 1884 Berlin Conference, as part of Ruanda-Urundi, with the first Western explorers reaching the country in 1894. After World War I, the territory was allocated to Belgium as a League of Nations mandate.
The German and Belgian regimes heavily favoured the country's Tutsis over the majority Hutus which led to tension between the two groups. Belgium switched allegiance to the Hutus following a revolution in 1959 and the country became independent in 1962. The Tutsi-led Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF) invaded in 1990, sparking a three year Civil War.
In 1994 the president was assassinated, sparking the Rwandan Genocide. The RPF quickly restarted their offensive, and eventually took control of the country.
Since the end of the Genocide, Rwanda has enjoyed political and social stability. This has permitted the development of agriculture, roads, tourism, and mining industries. Nevertheless, large numbers of Rwandans live in poverty as subsistence farmers. Power lies firmly in the hands of the president, Paul Kagame, and the RPF, who have held a majority in parliament since 1994. Rwanda is a member of La Francophonie and has recently joined the East African Community and the Commonwealth of Nations.
Rwanda has been declared as one of the safest, and cleanest countries in Africa. The economy is growing fast and the investments from the foreign investors are growing every year.
By its natural beauty and the many touristic attractions, Rwanda is becoming a wanted destination for tourists all over the world.
Enjoy Rwanda

Jan pointed me to this article on Neowin.net. Apparently Windows XP will be getting a 5 month extension; instead of being axed on Jan. 31, 2008 Microsoft will continue selling Windows XP until June 30, 2008 thanks to successful lobbying by large PC manufacturers.
This is good news for me, and I'm sure a lot of other people. I have absolutely NO plans on upgrading to Vista. I feel like there will be nothing but headaches at the expense of computer resources. All for what? "Mac-inspired" graphics.
Are you going to upgrade?

Morris Kantor (American, 1896–1974) Figures in Movement 1959 oil on canvas, 53" x 56" Patrons and Subscribers Purchase Fund
Born in Minsk, Russia in 1896, Morris Kantor came to the United States in 1906. He received his first art instruction in 1916 at the Independent School of Art in New York, where his interest shifted from cartooning and illustration to abstract painting based on the model of European cubism. After studying in Paris in 1927, Kantor's paintings became less abstract and more humanistic, as he depicted New York City as seen through the windows of his apartment/studio on Union Square, and houses and landscapes of New England. As his career evolved, Kantor's work progressed toward the type of lyrical abstraction seen in Figures in Movement. He used rapidly applied, broad strokes of bold color together with varying widths of line to suggest the movement of the titular figures, and also the movement of the abstracted subject in and out of our vision. Kantor taught at the Art Student's League in New York beginning in the 1940s, where he had an enormous influence on many young artists, including Robert Rauschenberg. Minnesotan George Morrison (1919-2000) also studied with Kantor, and his work in this publication, Naides (1958) is remarkably similar in its use of color to Kantor's Figures in Movement, which was painted less than a year later. Kantor was a Summer Guest Artist at the University of Minnesota Duluth in 1963 and 1964, and the subject of a solo exhibition at the Tweed Museum of Art in 1963, at which time Figures in Movement was acquired.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Quebec's nationalism run amok
Say what you want about Pierre Trudeau, but he understood the pettiness and dangers of nationalism.
In a provocative essay, written in September 1992 during the contentious debates around the Meech Lake and Charlottetown Accords, he suggested that entrenching Quebec's demand to be recognized as a "distinct society" was "frankly racist." Because as Trudeau argued, "there is a very good chance then that Quebecers of Irish, Jewish or Vietnamese origin -- even if they speak perfect French -- would have trouble claiming to belong to this 'distinct society.' "
Or, he might have added , young Sikhs who want to play soccer wearing their turbans.
Trudeau likely would have given one of his trademark told-you-so shrugs about the Quebec Soccer Federation's initial refusal to follow the directive of the Canadian Soccer Association and lift its controversial ban on turbans. This decision was as absurd as a similar incident last July when a nine-year-old girl from Gatineau, Que., Rayane Benatti, was not permitted to play in a soccer tournament because she would not remove her headscarf.
For close to two weeks, QSF officials justified their ruling as a grave concern over safety, a pathetic defence for which there is no basis in fact. Only a judgment by FIFA, the international soccer federation, which stated head covers are acceptable provided they meet professional standards, convinced the QSF to reverse its decision and offer a tepid apology to the Sikh community.
The larger issue at stake is an underlying philosophy that everyone should be treated equally and that making such accommodations to non-distinct society ethnic or religious groups was somehow detrimental to Quebec's future.
According to this one-sided logic, a large crucifix hanging in the Quebec National Assembly is acceptable because it symbolizes a link with Quebec's past, while a teenager wearing a small, light turban on a soccer field is objectionable.
Naturally, Quebec Premier Pauline Marois, of the Parti Qu©b©cois, denounced the CSA's intervention as intruding on Quebec's right to autonomy. What else would you expect from a government that unleashes language police (inspectors from the Office qu©b©cois de la langue franßaise) to go after an Italian restaurant that dares to advertise the word "pasta" on its menu?
Outside of Quebec, the QSF's actions were condemned as yet another example of racism. That cry has been heard seemingly forever and has plenty of historical examples that go all the way back to the 18th century when the territory of Quebec was known as Lower Canada. Starting in 1807, Ezekiel Hart, a Jewish businessman, was elected to the Lower Canadian Assembly (the first Jew in the British Empire to be elected to public office) but he was not allowed to sit because he refused to swear an oath "as a Christian" on the New Testament.
In the 1930s, Adrian Arcand's fascist party in Qu©bec boasted a membership of 80,000 at the height of its popularity. In 1934, French-Canadian interns went on strike after the Notre Dame Hospital hired a Jewish doctor, Samuel Rabinovitch. French-Canadian Catholic intellectuals led by the still-revered Abb© Lionel Groulx sought to drive Jewish merchants out of the retail business by the "achat chez nous" ("buy from us") campaign. Though Groulx found anti-Semitism "a negative and silly solution," he still endorsed the anti-Jewish boycott and wrote about race purity.
In the pages of the L'Action Catholique and other Catholic newspapers, Jews were denounced as parasites and Bolsheviks. According to Marcel Hamel, the editor of La Nation, communism was "a Jewish invention," a view shared by Quebec premier Maurice Duplessis and other members of the Union Nationale. In the nationalist organ Le Devoir, according to historian Esther Delisle, Jews in the 1930s, were "aliens, circumcised, criminals, mentally ill, trash of nations, Tartars, infected with Semitism, malodorous -- they smell of garlic, live in lice-ridden ghettos, have greasy hair and pot bellies, big crooked noses, and they are dirty." Such notions were shared to different degrees by a generation of prominent Quebec leaders.
Still, these racist and anti-Semitic slurs did not generate the critical reaction they would today for the simple reason that similar nasty attitudes toward non-white and non-Christian immigrant groups were shared across Canada far beyond Quebec's borders. Prejudice and discrimination were part of Canadian life; a case in point was the University of Manitoba faculty of medicine's ethnic quota from 1932-44.
It is true, for instance, that in the late 1930s, Quebec politicians led by Ernest Lapointe, the federal minister of justice in Mackenzie King's government, were staunchly opposed to allowing into the country German-Jewish refugees fleeing Nazi Germany. Yet the government's policy was shaped by a non-francophone, Frederick Blair, the deputy minister of immigration, a notorious anti-Semite, and most of the English-speaking ministers in King's cabinet supported Blair's racist policies and the kowtowing to Quebec's demands. They were just more subtle about it.
"We don't want to take too many Jews," astutely observed Norman Robertson, who worked at the external affairs department, "but, in the present circumstances particularly, we don't want to say so."
In his 1993 book, Blood and Belonging, former Liberal leader Michael Ignatieff draws a distinction between civic and ethnic nationalism. Civic nationalism, he explains, "maintains that the nation should be composed of all those -- regardless of race, colour, creed, gender, language, or ethnicity -- who subscribe to the nation's political creed." Ethnic nationalism, "claims by contrast, that an individual's deepest attachments are inherited not chosen. It is the national community that defines the individual, not the individuals who define the national community."
Over many decades, so-called English Canada -- which once perceived its collective identity as "white ethnic nationalism," as Ignatieff labels it -- gradually transformed itself from ethnic to civic nationalism, the result of more liberal and refined attitudes, immigration, multiculturalism and political correctness.
Quebec, on the other hand, which moved from a religious-based society to a more secular one, has firmly adhered to ethnic nationalism. Feeling isolated and threatened, compelled to protect its history, language and culture in a country and continent dominated by the English-language, its ethnic nationalism routinely leads to the silliness perpetuated by the Quebec Soccer Federation and its hyper-sensitive language laws.
It was the same story with recent issues about the ritual slaughter of kosher meat (allegedly "a contravention of Quebec values"), practising "parking tolerance" around synagogues during high holidays, or even putting up frosted glass at a Montreal YMCA at the request of Orthodox Jews who did not want see women exercising (the frosted glass was removed a year later after it was installed).
A multicultural, multi-ethnic and multi-religious society such as Canada's is always dealing with questions of accommodation. How far is too far?
Last year, the Supreme Court of Canada ruled that a woman wearing a niqab that covered her face would have to remove it to testify. Ceremonial daggers should not be permitted on airplanes and ritual sacrifices in the name of religion are forbidden by law.
Yet, as long as Quebec continues to define that degree of accommodation much narrower and based on its sense of ethnic rather than civic nationalism as the QSF did with its ruling on turbans, charges of racism, rightly or wrongly, will continued to be levelled at its leaders and citizens.
Now & Then is a column in which historian Allan Levine puts the events of today in a historical context.

Belgium May Build Hole In The Ocean To Store Energy
A Belgian politician is proposing an unusual way to store intermittent renewable power from the nation's offshore wind turbines: build a hole in the ocean, then let it fill up to generate electricity. Johan Vande Lanotte, Belgium's Minister of Economy, Consumer Affairs and the North Sea, is proposing his government build a nearly two-mile-wide island off the coast of Flanders with a seawater reservoir to store surplus energy from Belgian offshore wind turbines for later use.
Despite the grand scale, the concept is fairly simple. The island would be atoll-shaped, with a 100-foot-deep lined reservoir in the middle, and a seagate with generating turbines connecting the reservoir to the open sea. When the wind is blowing, excess power from wind turbines would be used to pump water out of the reservoir into the ocean. When the wind dies down and extra power is needed, the seagate would be opened to allow seawater to flow back into the reservoir, generating electricity as it flows.
"The big advantage is that with such an energy storage depot we can supply wind power at peak times," says Vande Lanotte. "You can also save electricity produced on land, and we intend to examine the possibility of selling electricity to other countries."
The island would be located within transmission cable distance of Britain.
Obviously, given the project's scale and likely expense -- not to mention potential environmental impact -- it will take some time to implement the plan if it's approved. Nonetheless, government and businesses are taking the idea seriously, with dredging and construction firms, wind companies, and the nation's electrical utility forming a consortium to plan the storage project, possibly within the next seven years.
It's an interesting idea, with obvious potential applications in California. Our state is no stranger to pumped storage proposals, many of them involving scarce fresh water in abandoned desert mines, with obvious resulting problems from habitat alteration and evaporation. It's unlikely the prospect of building a large energy storage island off the California coast will gain much traction, given the state's strong environmental laws. Still, it may be that some modified form of the project -- deep coastal shaft reservoirs, or managed wetlands with wildlife habitat -- might work along the already altered portions of the California coast.
Which is, after all, where the energy demand is.

COLUMBIA — City officials took a different path at this year's annual retreat. They are working on a strategic plan instead of debating specific issues and other pressing matters.
Last year, the City Council and department staff focused largely on street and sidewalk conditions and the Short Street garage. This year, City Manager Mike Matthes said the retreat was designed to lay the "foundation steps" for a three-year plan for the city.
"The plan lays out here and now what we want to think of for an inordinate amount of time," Matthes said.
The council and department members spent Friday whittling down a long list of topics to seven priorities that will be the heart of the council's strategic plan — growth management, fiscal health, infrastructure, health and safety, economic development, customer service and the work force.
On Saturday, council members will address each priority to identify where work needs to be done.
The seven targets are based on an earlier evaluation of the city's strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats.
Strengths include a 24/7 service-oriented work force, good fiscal management, innovative use of resources and accountability.
Among the weaknesses are persistent silos that affect communication, low employee morale, work force retention, lack of consensus on economic development, a lack of growth management plan and an inadequate pension program.
Human Resources Director Margrace Buckler said building a better environment for city employees required necessary action.
"If you don't put a focus on the work force in the next three years, you are going to be in a world of hurt," Buckler said. "They feel undervalued; they feel like they are the last of the last."
Matthes called the strategic plan a "surgical" approach to the council's future agenda and said the plan would allow the council to be more accountable to Columbia residents.
"It's better to lay out what you want to accomplish; otherwise, how else will you be judged?" Matthes said. "It'll be a way to evaluate how we met those goals."
Other city departments already had a strategic plan, Matthes said, and the retreat was a way for the council to develop its own.
"The ideas we come up with today will have long-term ramifications," Matthes said.
The retreat was held at the Activity and Recreation CenterFriday and will continue from 8 a.m. to noon Saturday.

We went to The Field's for good coffee, and Mike played at open mic night. | Tuesdays and Fridays we often headed over to the Canton Farmer's Market for great produce and conversations with the farmers about our research. | Much of our shopping was done at the Potsdam Food Co-op, where you could get organic, local, and yummy food for pretty good prices. |
On hot summer evenings, exhausted from working in our labs, we sometimes packed up and headed to Colton or Parishville for swimming with students from other Clarkson programs.
